Publisher's summary

From the #1 New York Times best-selling author comes a revised, repackaged novel sure to please her many fans. She writes "high speed comic mayhem" ( Detroit Free Press); she's "a blast of fresh air" ( Washington Post); "side-splitting funny" ( Publishers Weekly) and "a winner" ( Glamour). In other words, she's Janet Evanovich.

Berry Knudson had a talent for disaster, but when she climbed a tree to rescue a kitten, she wasn't prepared for the scrumptious hunk undressing in a nearby window, or her dive downward that smashed Jake Sawyer's pizza and won his heart! But was there room in her chaotic schedule for a risk-taking inventor with dreams? She took classes, delivered pizzas, and cared for three eccentric old ladies she rescued from the train station. But Jake thrived on a challenge, and he could be very inventive. Could he teach her there was time to make butterscotch pudding and let herself be loved?

Light Hearted and Fun

Janet's books always make me laugh and feel better even though the plot may not be earthshaking.

The Grand Finale

I truly loved this audiobook, it made me laugh so much. With the ladies living at the train station, and then, they were living at her house, and they burned the couch 🛋. It was a very humorous story. I hope one day that she marries Jake.

Good book but music??!

I enjoyed the story; the performance but what’s with the music between chapters and behind the performance?? Very distracting and unnecessary. I would suggest not recording music with next book

Narrator

I think the narration is too phony sounding! I almost can’t listen to the stories that C J Critt narrates!

Great Easy Read/Listen

Would you consider the audio edition of The Grand Finale to be better than the print version?

I love listening to CJ Critt, so I definetly think that the audio version is better than the print version. She is so talented, I even

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Grand Finale?

I love the roles of the old ladies. They made the book!

Have you listened to any of C. J. Critt’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

YES! I have listened to her do several of the Stephanie Plum series, so I was thrilled when I heard her on this book as well! She did fantastic! I am partial to how she does the Plum series because she has so many characters to do and does their voices so well!

Always love Janet Evanovich

I have read all of Janet Evanovich's mystery type books and decided that this weekend I needed something super light and funny. What a great choice!

It was cute and not at all serious. Exactly what I needed! I can always count on the characters and story to give me a smile.
